Re: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

Take into account they actually have 3 movies, (Episode of Alabasta, Strong World, Film Z) and so far 1 special confirmed (3D2Y) it begins to get a little confusing.

Completely forgot about Episode of Alabasta (not that I wanted to remember it).

Still, seeing 3 specials when we only know of 3D2Y is pretty interesting. Unless they're treating Episode of Alabasta as a special, but I doubt they'd do that. Guess we'll have to wait for official confirmation on it.

Makes me wonder if they're going to dub the Toriko collaboration episodes seeing as it looks like they're not omitted. Also, the reason they probably aren't announcing the acquisition of these episodes is probably because they already have the licenses due to the simulcast. They licensed the specials when they simulcasted them and they didn't have to go back and relicense 3D2Y so it's probably the same type of situation. They really just have to get the rights to release them on home video but they most likely already have the episodes licensed for dubbing. Also, if they indeed HAVE indeed licensed the Toriko collabs, they're probably not going to announce that they have because there is only 3 episodes of them.

If they decide not to dub the episodes Funi can give One Piece the wrong episode numbers! :P From Funi's standpoint they are getting more bang for buck by dubbing the episodes they licensed as a package, they might as well dub them (they have all the voice actors).

Well, I meant that there was legal issues with licensing it for the simulcast but issues with licensing stuff in terms of the simulcast have never been a problem with the dub so they'll probably dub them.
EDIT: Just looked into it, FUNi didn't have the North American license to Toriko at the times the first two episodes aired. They only had streaming rights but not the full license and they didn't include the OPXDBXToriko one because despite having the license for Toriko at the time, it would be inconsistent because of the other two being omitted. However, they'll probably dub them all seeing as they now have the license in full.

Every song Crunchyroll has, FUNimation also has on their DVDs. Crunchyroll is the only one left out when it comes to openings; and those openings are 7, 10, 11, 12, and 14. Crunchyroll oddly even had Opening 7 originally before they uploaded the HD versions of those episodes. In comparison, FUNi has gotten all of those on its simulcast and DVDs, with the only exclusion being Mirai Kokai, which was unavailable to both mediums. I don't think it's unsafe to assume that FUNi will have the rights to Hands Up on its DVDs if Crunchyroll was able to get access later.

Re: Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ)

bravo sir, bravo, but please don't toy with my heart like that. I don't think it can take anymore. Seriously though this was pretty well done, and the second time today that I have been fully tricked. I already got tricked by someone saying that Funimation announced a 2nd cour for my hero academia >:(
